Chaozhou's Spring Festival custom

The Spring Festival customs in Chaozhou are almost the same as those in other places. The only difference is that Chaozhou usually "shoots Chunsheng" during the Spring Festival, which is the characteristic of Chaozhou. General customs are:

1, have a reunion dinner. After chaozhou people's house was completely decorated, housewives were busy preparing the richest and most meaningful reunion dinner of the year. ?

2. Send lucky money. Giving lucky money is an important part of Chaozhou Spring Festival custom. Money can't be sent directly to wait for a while. It should be packed in a market-friendly bag or wrapped in red paper. It means that from the beginning of the year to the end of the year, the pocket will be full of facts and wealth.

3. Happy New Year. The first thing people do when they get up and put on new clothes is to pay homage to themselves. It is often the younger generation who wishes the elders first, and then the elders give their expectations to the younger generation.

4. Chunsheng. During the Spring Festival, another distinctive folk activity in Chaozhou is "Cuan Chunsheng" (in spring, three or four layers of bamboo baskets with covers are usually used in pairs, so it is also called "Cuan Chunsheng").

5. After the 24th of the twelfth lunar month, every household will steam rice cakes, mainly for offering sacrifices to the gods. In these two days, all the families, old and young, get together to make rice cakes. The Chaoshan area is called "Guo", which is also the happiest day for children.
